"Acclaimed Nova Scotia battle rapper Pat Stay was the victim of a fatal stabbing in downtown Halifax early Sunday, CBC News has learned. Halifax Regional Police have not identified Stay as the victim, but Stay's brother, Peter Stay, confirmed the news to CBC. The Dartmouth, N.S., man was revered for his work in rap battles, where two rappers confront each other in front of an audience using a mixture of boasts, insults and rhymes.
Stay had a large social media following and put out a new track two days ago that has already amassed more than 50,000 views on YouTube. The video even includes a brief quote from Canadian rapper Drake, who praises Stay. "Pat Stay's definitely one of, if not, the best," he said in the video."
Tragic story.....just 36 yrs old.....he was a phenomonal talent and a nice guy....So far, it seems he was back in his home of Nova Scotia...went to a bar or nightclub and was either trying to break up a fight or cracking jokes on a guy and the guy pulled out a knife and stabbed him....As of now, no suspects have been named -- but with it being probably the biggest artist to come out of that part of Canada, I am sure the person who did it will be caught soon.
